Forever Access Campaign
The Forever Access Capital Campaign was launched at the 2025 Annual Membership Meeting to raise funds to purchase the current boat launch property. Ownership of the boat launch would secure permanent access for members and the community while improving management for fishing, milfoil prevention and more.
Current Goal
As announced in the 2026 newsletter, we have come in an agreement with the Lathe Family. Thanks to a very generous donation from an anonymous donor, we have nearly reached our goal.
What's next?
-
Collection of Pledge Agreements - A letter was sent to all parties who sent in a pledge agreement and many pledges have been sent in.
-
An additional $50,000 is required to ensure the long term success of the boat launch property. This will include updates and maintenance to the property.
-
If you would like to make a donation towards the "Forever Access Campaign" a donation can be made directly to the PPPA noting that it is specific to the campaign. As a reminder, for your federal taxes, we are a 501(c)(3) organization EIN 01-6029569.

Tasks to Accomplish this Goal
01
Secure Binding Pledge Agreements
Secure binding pledges for donations that would only be collected if we get an accepted
purchase offer from the current landowners.
COMPLETE
03
Review of Offer
If the landowner intends to accept the PPPA offer, they are first required by a deeded first right of refusal agreement to offer our exact offer to the other party. Only if the other party declines can the landowner formally accept the PPPA offer.
COMPLETE
05
Boat Launch Ownership
The PPPA will own the current boat launch property - work will start to develop a more robust system for obtaining access.
02
Purchase Agreement
Formalize a purchase agreement with covenants that support permanent access to the pond and long-term conservation goals tying to the PPPA mission.
COMPLETE
04
Receive Accepted Offer
Ideally, we will receive an accepted offer. If and when this happens the binding pledge agreements will then be collected to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the property.
